Introduction
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ADTRAN IQ Probe provides the visibility and control needed for both
the physical and logical connections made in frame relay networks. The IQ
Probe provides logical layer monitoring and management for frame relay.
Each permanent virtual circuit (PVC) accessed through an IQ Probe is
managed end-to-end as if it were a leased line connection. Real-time sta-
tistics on throughput, bandwidth utilization, availability, bursting, con-
gestion, and network delay are collected and stored. The statistics are
viewable through the IQ Probe using the front panel, the VT-100 interface,
or the Frame IQ MIB (management information base). This information
can be gathered by management systems via SNMP (simple network man-
agement protocol) and used to monitor network health and perform long-
term network planning.
The unit's embedded SNMP agent provides complete SNMP access to the
unit. SNMP access is available through the DTE or DCE port or through
an integral SLIP (serial line internet protocol) or PPP (point-to-point pro-
tocol) async port. The IQ Probe also provides an integrated 10BaseT ether-
net access for SNMP.
The following are features of the IQ Probe:
• Complete and comprehensive frame relay monitoring
• Real-time measurement of bandwidth utilization, committed
information rates (CIRs), and excess burst rates on each PVC
• True non-intrusive, in-band transmission of statistics
• Embedded SNMP and Telnet through the DTE, DCE, SLIP/PPP, or
integrated 10BaseT ethernet port
